Sorry if I hurt your feelings ...now we're even

Bit of a heads up while im on here waffling....
This spends its life clogged up unless its in the very finest of materials - if i was buying another id go wider spacings than the 75cm centers this has.
bracing doesnt help either, luckily i can tooth pick it out with ripper tooth.

Your bracing is the problem id say. 75mm clear openings are ok, anything less is to close

Let the apprentice load his first lorry. (Scrap heating oil tanks) Did well under pressure. Always the same, dead quiet then park a lorry and block the lane and 8 cars want to get in and out.
T(RUSTY) old forklift doesn't look much, but has been good to us. Still looked after by same outfit that sold it new. I understand it was on Looe quayside for most of its life hence rusty. its 25 years old now.

Think these end up at Bridgend (Express Polymers perhaps?) Not sure if direct of if they go back to DESO depot at Willand first. We have a deal whereby I spend £1000-£1500 on new ones and they take the old ones away (cleaned out and dry) for £15 or £25 each. Used to be a free service. I used to fill a 7.5t wagon every couple of weeks back at the peak. Only about twice a year now, although oil tank jobs seem to be picking up again.

Yeah but lots going in under the BUS Grant schemes (mostly done poorly).
Lots of folks have been holding off but feels like things picking up a bit on oil tanks. Still fitting mostly oil boilers compared to anything else.
